Madam Secretary, A Memoir by Madeleine Albright
Very interesting to read about the author's background: her Czech origins, her emigration to the United States, her acquisition of American citizenship and ultimately her climb to become President Clinton's National Security Adviser before being appointed Secretary of State. She comes across as a kind but tough 'cookie'. However, although she claims to have severely cut her original manuscript, I found her account of her time at the top too detailed to make relaxed reading.
